I was bored the other day and decided to map out our away games for next season....Crewe was the last piece of the jigsaw. I live in Derbyshire about 60 miles north of the Ricoh, so for me theres a lot of games not too far away.....Notts Co, Blades, Walsall, Crewe and loads in the North West etc.
My reasoning is that I :
a dont want to renew my season ticket until the gits are gone, Id rather give my cash to those "little teams" and support the boys on their travels.
b fancy a change of scenery.
c fed up sitting with people watching scores on smartphones and ignoring the game (block 18 is full of them!)
d fancy some standing up again and some singing!
e pies should be good!
I will be at all of them on the days I am not at work. Looking forward to when they release the fixture list so I can see what delightful places and grounds I can get to visit for the first time.
Its going to be an interesting long season and i dont think anyone knows how it going to go. I suppose we have got to be thankful that the English football league has so much depth and so many clubs that third tier football is not the end of the world. I can honestly say i am now looking forward to the season now visiting grounds like Oldham which i remeber from the prem days and MK Dons new ground and strangely looking forward to Brentford and Leyton Orient. Don't fancy Carlisle on a Tuesday Night though!
Carlisle will be my closest game. About an hour away. That will be a rare game that I can still go to if i am on days and it is a midweek game. I work 5:30 to 5:30.
Nice work op. I'm looking forward to going to as many of these games as possible. Plenty of northern ones within two hours or so. My plan next season is to also go away rather than home to experience these grounds.

After seriously slacking the past two seasons I will be looking to do as many aways as possible. Gonna bite the bullet and actually drive to em rather than just going for a day on the lash..........although I'm sure there will be a few of those as well.
